NEW YORK, April 26, 2023 – Gloat, the leading Agile Workforce Operating System provider today introduced Skills Foundation, a set of AI-powered tools designed to help organizations navigate business transformation initiatives and look beyond job structures to become a skills-based organization.

Gloat’s Skills Foundation was designed to help businesses identify and mitigate skill gaps and reskill and redeploy talent to better align workforces to business strategies at speed and scale.

Workforce agility and adaptability are becoming increasingly crucial for businesses that are navigating disruptive new technologies, reacting to competitive pressures, and managing the impact of market volatility. Organizations relying on reductions in force and recruiting alone to adapt their workforces are facing constraints in the midst of record-low unemployment rates. With 40% of CEOs claiming their business may not be economically viable in 10 years’ time, a more sustainable approach to workforce adaptation is imperative.

Reliable workforce skills data and visibility into emerging skill trends in the market are essential inputs for businesses building future-fit workforces. Skills Foundation leverages Gloat’s proprietary graph-based big data and AI model, Workforce Graph™, which has been trained on billions of data points from thousands of open web sources, government databases, partner data, and aggregated and anonymized data from millions of Gloat end-users. This graph enhances a company’s existing data with these insights from across the market and integrates with existing HR systems to create a harmonized, single source of truth for skills in the organization. Leveraging this data, the Workforce Graph’s AI capabilities provide insights and recommendations to:

• Build a skills blueprint for every role – Adjust job design and hire or upskill for the most critical skills today. Leverage AI-driven recommendations to adjust roles, and org structure to drive efficiency.
• Map the skills across your organization – Surface critical skillsets and retain or redeploy critical skills based on business needs. Identify and mitigate skill gaps across the business.
• Make data-driven talent decisions – Unify your data sets to have a single source of truth on the skills and jobs across your company. Benchmark against the market to inform your reskilling and talent acquisition priorities.
• Reskill for the future – Make informed decisions on where to build skills within and where to acquire them externally using market and company insights. Build an upskilling pipeline to redeploy talent and stay a step ahead of the market.
• Restructure efficiently – Eliminate redundant roles, uncover transferable skills and redeploy talent at scale from outdated to emerging areas of need.

“The surge of new technologies and newly required skill sets cannot be ignored,” said Gloat CEO Ben Reuveni, “Over two years ago, we introduced Workforce Intelligence to market because, as a pioneer in the Talent Marketplace, we saw that every business is impacted, and every business must adapt to remain viable. We realized we had a wealth of real-time data from marketplace engagement and channeled it into actionable tools to support organizations moving to a skills-based, data-driven model. Today, we’ve expanded on those capabilities with a complete Skills Foundation offering to help businesses look beyond rigid hierarchies and adopt a skills-based approach to work.” Gloat Skills Foundation is complementary to Gloat’s world-leading Talent Marketplace Applications and will help organizations pursue an accelerated path toward building a skills-based organization.

New York – October 13, 2022 – Gloat, the global leader in Workforce Agility, today announced the launch of Skills Landscape, a powerful platform enhancement that enables organizations to upskill at speed and scale by giving every employee skill-based guidance on how to reach their career goals. As organizations make critical workforce decisions like establishing job requirements and identifying skill priorities, Skills Landscape captures and analyzes each decision and translates it into actionable recommendations for every employee — bridging the gap between workforce planning and execution. With a personalized view of how skills measure up to company expectations, market trends, and manager recommendations, employees gain visibility to action plans that account for both their career development and the business’s evolving needs.

Organizations are constantly seeking improved efficiency as they adapt to increasing, unpredictable market disruptions. Nearly nine out of 10 executives say skills are becoming more important for the way organizations are defining work, deploying talent, managing careers, and valuing employees—but no more than 30% are truly adopting skills-based approaches*. When planning processes are siloed from the employee experience, it makes it challenging for managers to take action. In parallel, employees are seeking a better understanding of how to steer their careers. According to a recent Gloat survey, 54% of employees report their current role doesn’t make good use of their skills, and over 63% would like to be considered for new and different career opportunities in their organization.

Skills Landscape is the first solution to align organizational and talent priorities. As organizations use Gloat’s award-winning Workforce Intelligence tools to identify and manage organizational planning and upskilling needs, Skills Landscape translates those decisions into action within Gloat’s market-leading Talent Marketplace, bringing these insights to life across the employee experience in key ways:

• Setting Development Goals – Each employee will have access to a personalized Skills Landscape within the Development section of their Talent Marketplace. They will be able to benchmark their skills against their role, industry, and managerial expectations, receiving recommendations on how to adjust their development plans via upskilling tracks.
• Career Planning – As employees explore different career paths and roles within their organization, they can view Skills Landscape to assess how their skills compare to the requirements of any open role in the organization, and see the next steps they can take to improve their qualifications for any role.

• Team Management – With Skills Landscape activated in the “My Team” section of the Talent Marketplace, managers get a detailed view into the skill set of their team at the individual and team level. With these insights, they can then better understand the skill strengths and gaps across their team to inform upskilling and hiring needs.

“Predominant HR models separate the process of planning from implementation and adoption, making it a lengthy and arduous task to drive change at scale,” said Ayala Michelson, vice president of product and analytics at Gloat. “Skills Landscape renders an organization’s workforce in high definition, down to the last skill and competency of each employee. With access to such granular data and the ability to turn business priorities into actionable employee recommendations, businesses can quickly drive employee upskilling in a way that is connected to company goals, resources, and market conditions, at scale.”

Skills Landscape is powered by the rich data, insights, and artificial intelligence layer of Gloat’s platform. Fueled by billions of public and proprietary data points across the market, Skills Landscape takes the guesswork out of development, putting each employee at the helm of their careers with transparent data and insights on what’s needed to excel at their current role or in any future one.

To learn more about Skills Landscape, check out Gloat’s blog or head to their session, “How to Use Skills Intelligence to Transform Your Workforce,” at the Unleash World 2022 conference on Oct. 13.

New York – September 27, 2022 – Gloat, the leading provider of Workforce Agility, is proud to announce its Workforce Intelligence suite was named a 2022 Top HR Product of the Year by Human Resource Executive. The award was presented at the 2022 HR Technology Conference & Expo in Las Vegas.

In its summary of why Gloat the award, HR Executive writes: “Today’s HR and talent acquisition leaders have shifted to building skills-based organizations, and that’s where Gloat’s Workforce Intelligence shines. The solution analyzes data across multiple HR systems, the talent marketplace and external market data to gather and present that information in a single unified dataset. This helps business leaders understand rising and declining skills over time; skills clustering, categorization and adjacencies; skills demand, supply and gaps; and benchmarks within the market.”

Current trends in the labor market — from the Great Resignation to quiet quitting — are spotlighting organizations’ need to transform their workforce strategies. Organizations need intelligence to adapt to market disruptions and meet their employees’ expectations. Gloat’s Workforce Intelligence captures anonymized user-generated data on its platform from millions of employees across 120 countries in 20 industries. It provides the insights businesses need to evolve their workforce and understand their people’s skills.

“Organizations recognize that ensuring they have the right skills in the right places is essential for growth,” said Danny Shteinberg, co-founder and chief marketing officer at Gloat. “Gloat’s Workforce Intelligence activates an immense base of self-evolving data, helping companies understand the dynamic relationships between jobs, skills and work. With this insight, businesses can deliver against priorities by redeploying talent at will and tapping into the unrealized capabilities of their workforce.”

Workforce Intelligence is one pillar of Gloat’s Workforce Agility Platform, which also leverages its AI-powered Talent Marketplace. While each product set can be used independently, together they support a dynamic and continuous operating model to deliver the best possible results. Organizations can empower their talent with opportunities, move quickly with the marketplace and gain real-time insight into what’s happening in their business.
